“…Local invasion depended on the size. Moreover, in terms of location, only few cases affected the thumb and all these cases have presented with pain or restricted motion as did our patient [4, 7–9]. We noted that all patients were males: two were infants (8 and 9 years old) and two were adults (53 and 70 years old).…”

“…Patients are often uncomfortable from limitation of mobility once they reach a significant size [2, 5]. Pain is not uncommon and it is usually mild [4]. Our patient in fact presented with both symptoms of pain and flexion limitation (approximately 20° of IP flexion).…”

“…Most common locations are in the upper back, neck, shoulder, and abdomen [3]. However, they rarely present in the hand with a reported incidence of 1% [4], and they often arise in the thenar or hypothenar regions [3]. Lipomas occur most commonly in the fifth and sixth decade [5] and are more frequently encountered in women [6].…”

We report hereby the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with a soft-tissue swelling on the palmar aspect of the thumb. A detailed clinical examination followed by ultrasonography and excisional biopsy confirmed a spindle cell lipoma. Lipomas are rare in the hand and exceptional in the fingers, and we report, to our knowledge, the first spindle cell lipoma in the thumb to help in the differential diagnosis of a similar swelling.

The aim of this study is to analyze demographic characteristics, anatomical distribution, and clinic presentations of the lipomatosis masses in hand and wrist. The hand and wrist magnetic resonance (MR) images of 2,453 patients were evaluated retrospectively. Nineteen cases were included in the study that is seen fat component in mass in MR images. Patients' age, sex, and clinical symptoms were noted. The size and the localization area of the mass were evaluated. Ordinary lipomas were detected in 18 (95%) patients, and fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve was detected in 1 patient (5%). Benign ordinary lipomas were most frequently observed in palmar and ventral sides. Lipomas located in palmar area tend to be bigger size comparing with other locations. Deep-seated lipoma is localized in central area frequently. In ordinary lipoma cases, patients are generally (78%) asymptomatic. The most frequent clinical symptom is limitation in movement depending on mass dimension.

Rationale:Lipomas originated from fingers are rare and the dissection is necessary when the lipomas limit the finger movement or cause pain.Patient concerns:A 57-year-old male was admitted to our department due to a painless swelling on the volar side of the middle finger of the right hand. The flexion movement of the distal interphalangeal joint was limited.Diagnoses: Imaging studies and open biopsy confirmed that it was a finger lipoma.Interventions: An excisional biopsy was performed.Outcomes: The patient recovered completely after two weeks.Lessons: Based on this case and literature we reviewed, ultrasound and MRI should be used to diagnose the finger lipoma and excision was the main treatment option.
